Progress in Talks with U.S. but No Deal yet: Greenland PM
Negotiators have held five meetings since January as the United States seeks expanded military access on the mineral-rich Arctic island, officials said.
- Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen confirmed on Tuesday that negotiations with the United States and Denmark regarding the Arctic territory are advancing, though "we don't have an agreement" yet.
- President Donald Trump covets the mineral-rich Arctic island for national security reasons, arguing the United States must control it or risk China or Russia seizing the territory.
- Media reports indicate the United States seeks three additional southern military bases to supplement the existing Pituffik installation, prompting formation of a working group to discuss the proposal.
- Special envoy Jeff Landry requested a meeting in Nuuk next week to discuss expansion plans, though Nielsen said, "It will be arranged if we get something concrete."
- A 1951 defense pact already permits base expansion with prior notification to Denmark and Greenland, and Nielsen reiterated, "We have been ready from the beginning and said we are ready to do more.
